2 Samyèl 16

1 Alò, lè David te fin depase krèt la, vwala, Tsiba, sèvitè a Méphiboscheth la te rankontre li avèk yon pè bourik avèk makout. Sou yo, te gen de-san pen, yon santèn grap rezen, yon santèn fwi gran sezon ak yon veso diven.

Now when David was a little past the top, look, Ziba the servant of Mippibaal met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a container of wine.

2 Wa a te di a Tsiba: “Poukisa ou genyen sila yo?” Epi Tsiba te di: “Bourik yo se pou manm lakay wa yo monte, pen avèk fwi gran sezon an se pou jennonm yo manje e diven an se pou nenpòt moun ki fin pèdi fòs nan dezè a kab bwè.”

And the king said to Ziba, "Why did you bring these things?" And Ziba replied, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert."

3 Alò, wa a te di: “Epi kote fis a mèt ou a?” Epi Tsiba te di a wa a: “Men vwala, li rete Jérusalem paske li te di: ‘Jodi a, lakay Israël la va restore wayòm papa m nan a mwen menm.’”

Then the king said, "Where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the children of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my father.'"

4 Konsa, wa a te di a Tsiba: “Men vwala, tout sa ki apatyen a Méphiboscheth se pou ou.” Epi Tsiba te di: “Mwen vin bese devan ou nèt; kite mwen twouve gras nan zye ou, O mèt mwen, wa a!”

Then the king said to Ziba, "Look, all that pertains to Mippibaal is yours." Ziba said, "I humbly bow. May I find favor in the sight of my lord the king."

5 Lè Wa David te rive Bachurim, gade byen, te sòti depi la yon mesye ki sòti nan fanmi Saül ki te rele Schimeï, fis a Guéra a. Li te parèt ak pawòl madichon san rete pandan li t ap pwoche.

And when king David reached Bahurim, now look, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out and cursed continuously as he approached.

6 Li te jete wòch sou David, sou tout sèvitè a Wa David yo e tout mesye gran kouraj yo te sou men dwat li ak sou men goch li.

And he threw stones at David and at all his servants, and all the people and all the soldiers at his right hand and at his left.

7 Konsa, Schimeï te di pandan li t ap voye madichon yo: “Sòti la, sòti la, moun ki vèse san, sanzave!

And Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, and worthless man.

8 SENYÈ a gen tan mete sou ou tout san koule lakay Saül, nan plas kote ou te renye a! SENYÈ a te lage wayòm nan nan men fis ou, Absalom. Epi gade, ou pran nan pwòp mechanste ou, paske ou se yon nonm ki vèse san!”

The LORD has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the LORD has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And look, your evil is upon you, because you are a man of bloodshed."

9 Alò, Abischai, fis a Tseruja a te di a wa a: “Poukisa chen mouri sa a ta dwe modi mèt mwen an, wa a? Kite mwen janbe ale koupe tèt li.”

Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off his head."

10 Men wa a te di: “Kisa mwen gen avè w, O fis a Tseruja? Si li bay madichon, e si SENYÈ a te di li ‘Modi David’, alò, se kilès k ap di: ‘Poukisa ou te fè sa?’”

The king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because the LORD has said to him, 'Curse David;' who then shall say, 'Why have you done so?'"

11 Alò, David te di a Abischaï e a tout sèvitè li yo: “Gade, fis mwen ki te sòti nan mwen an koulye a ap chache lavi m. Konbyen anplis pou Benjamit sila a? Kite li e kite li bay madichon, paske SENYÈ a te pale li.

Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Look, my son who came from my body seeks my life. So also now this Benjamite. Leave him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him to.

12 Petèt SENYÈ a va gade afliksyon mwen e remete m bon olye madichon pa sila a nan jou sa a.”

Perhaps the LORD will look on my affliction and return good to me for his cursing today."

13 Konsa, David avèk mesye pa li yo te fè wout yo. Epi Schimeï te mache akote pant mòn nan vizavi de yo menm. Pandan li t ap prale, li te modi, li te jete wòch, e li te jete pousyè bò kote li.

So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at his flank, and threw dirt.

14 Wa a avèk tout moun ki te avèk li yo te rive byen fatige, e yo te vin rafrechi la.

Now the king and all his people arrived weary at the Jordan, and he refreshed himself there.

15 Alò, Absalom avèk tout pèp la, mesye Israël yo te antre Jérusalem e Achitophel avèk li.

Now Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

16 Konsa, li te vin rive lè Huschaï, Akyen an, zanmi a David la te rive kote Absalom, ke Huschaï te di: “Viv wa a! Viv wa a!”

And it came about when David's friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king. Long live the king."

17 Absalom te di Huschaï: “Èske sa se fidelite ou pou zanmi ou? Poukisa ou pa t ale avèk zanmi ou an?”

So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"

18 Epi Huschaï te di a Absalom: “Non, paske sila ke SENYÈ a, pèp sa a e tout mesye Israël yo te chwazi a, se pou li menm, mwen va ye, e avèk li menm, mwen va rete.

Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I belong, and with him I will stay.

19 Anplis de sa, se kilès pou m ta sèvi? Se pa nan prezans a fis li a? Jis jan ke m te sèvi nan prezans papa ou a, konsa mwen va ye nan prezans pa w.”

Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn't I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence."

20 Alò, Absalom te di a Achitophel: “Ban m konsèy pa w Kisa nou dwe fè?”

Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What should we do?"

21 Achitophel te di a Absalom: “Antre nan ti mennaj papa ou te lese pou okipe kay la; epi tout Israël va tande ke ou te fè tèt ou rayisab a papa ou. Anplis, men a tout sila ki avèk ou yo va vin ranfòse.”

Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's secondary wives, that he has left to care for the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father. Then those on your side will be motivated to support you."

22 Konsa yo te monte yon tant anwo tèt kay la, epi Absalom te antre nan relasyon seksyèl ak tout konkibin papa l yo, devan zye a tout Israël.

So they set up a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's secondary wives in the sight of all Israel.

23 Konsèy a Achitophel te konn bay nan jou sa yo te konsidere tankou si yon moun te mande konsèy a pawòl Bondye. Se te konsa tout konsèy Achitophel te ye pou David ak Absalom.

Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one inquired of the word of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.
